BET ACCEPTANCE RULES Once accepted, a bet can only be canceled by mutual consent. The placing of a bet with Star Sports, signifies your acceptance of our rules, whether or not you have familiarised yourself with them. Subject to these rules, bets are accepted for race meetings held under the Jockey Club or their equivalent bodies abroad. Bets will be accepted for NGRC greyhound meetings, and selected IGB race tracks.
Should there be any doubt as to whether a bet refers to horse or greyhound racing, horse racing will be given precedence. However, where the numbers are used and sufficient doubt exists over the intention of the bet, greyhound racing will be given precedence. Named selections will always be given precedence over numbered ones. We reserve the right to refuse the whole or any part of any bet but will endeavour to give an explanation. All bets are deemed for the day of acceptance, unless otherwise stated. We endeavour to ensure complete accuracy as regards announcing, publishing and issuing of prices, however, should an error occur, we cannot accept responsibility and reserve the right to correct obvious errors. Special bets are in accordance with the special rules issued for such bets. A bet not substantiated by our tape recording equipment may not be recognised by us. All bets accepted will be settled on the official result, unless otherwise stated. Where a race is specified by using racecard order, the race will be placed and timed as the card in the sporting press, with allowances for obvious errors. We cannot guarantee to pay or correct errors, if they are brought to our attention more than six months after the official result of the last selection to run on the bet. Postal bets are not accepted. Time of Acceptance For all telephone bets, the time at which the bet was recorded on our tape recording equipment will govern settlement. Where the official OFF of a race is not announced, bets will be accepted up to the advertised OFF time. Any bet taken after this will be deemed void, unless we are satisfied that the bet was accepted before the actual OFF. Any bet accepted after the OFF is at our discretion.

Non Sport and Specialty Bets 25,000 Includes bets on media and television events such as Eurovision Song Contest, Big Brother etc. For multiple bets including selections from markets where different limits apply, the maximum payout on the bet will default to the lowest applicable limit. Where bets are placed on different days, the maximum payout limit will apply to the day that the final selection in the bets were completed and not to the day that the bets were placed. Any group of customers who have placed the same combination of selections and we believe have been acting as a syndicate will be treated as one customer for the purpose of the above limits. Displayed Prices Bets are accepted at 'show prices', as transmitted by the official information to our offices e.g. SIS. Where a show price is requested, it will apply to that selection in all win and each way bets where it occurs in the telephone call, unless it is clearly stated otherwise. For place purposes, the number of placed runners, as determined in our place betting rules, will be governed by the number of runners coming under starters orders and not by the number of runners, when the price is laid. If there are any errors in prices laid, transmitted or marked up the bet will be settled at the correct price at the time that the bet was laid or at SP whichever is the greater. Bar prices' do not constitute a quoted price and will not be laid. Ante-post betting ceases at the overnight/48 hour declaration stage and all bets placed after the overnight/48 hour declaration stage will be non-runner no bet. Tattersalls rule 4 may apply. We cannot allow for mistakes, nor accept responsibility for any errors or omissions in
respect of accuracy in publishing or issuing of prices, despite our every effort to ensure total accuracy and reserve the right to correct these errors. Dead Heats When a dead heat occurs for first place, the stake money on the winning selection will be divided by the number of winners and the full odds paid on the reduced stake. The remainder of the stake is lost. Where an each way bet involves a dead heat winner, the win part of the bet will be settled as above and the place part will be settled in full, in accordance with the relevant place terms. Should the dead heat only involve placed selections and results in more than the allocated number of places, then the stakes will be divided, as before and settled to the full place terms. Tattersalls Rule 4 When a selection is withdrawn prior to the start of an event, remaining selections may be subject to a Rule 4. The following table lists the rate of deduction. 1/9 or longer odds on 90p in 2/11 to 2/17 85p in 1/4 to 1/5 80p in 3/10 to 2/7 75p in 2/5 to 1/3 70p in 8/15 to 4/9 65p in 8/13 to 4/7 60p in 4/5 to 4/6 55p in 20/21 to 5/6 50p in Evens to 6/5 45p in 5/4 to 6/4 40p in 8/5 to 7/4 35p in 9/5 to 9/4 30p in 12/5 to 3/1 25p in 16/5 to 4/1 20p in 9/2 to 11/2 15p in 6/1 to 9/1 10p in 10/1 to 14/1 5p in If over 14/1 then no deduction will be made. We do not apply rule 4's of 5p in the for UK and Irish If over 14/1 then no deduction will be made. We do not apply rule 4's of 5p in the for UK and Irish Horse Racing. In the event of more than one selection priced between 10/1 and 14/1 being withdrawn prior to the start of an event, remaining selections will be subject to the relevant Rule 4.
Settlement of Bets Bets on horse racing are settled on the official result. Where bets or parts of bet are made void, stakes on singles will be refunded, but on multiple bets, the void selection will be treated as a non-runner. The advertised times of races, runners, riders and results as published in the Racing Post, will govern settlement, obvious errors and omissions being allowed. In the event of no official starting price being returned from horse race winners, with no price being taken, bets will be settled on the last Industry show passed. If no Industry show is given bets will be settled on the last available Star Sports price. All bets are settled strictly on their merits and no plea of precedence will be accepted. Incorrect & Ambiguous Instructions Should a client incorrectly give a selection, the bet will be settled as to the identity of the intended selection. If a selection has been given so that more than one selection could conceivably be intended, the stakes shall be divided equally among those selections involved. If a selection has been clearly given, but timed wrong, it will be accepted for the race it runs in provided it is not doubly engaged. If two selections are engaged with the same name and both selections are still to run at the time of acceptance, provided that no time has been given, the bets will be settled on the runner without a suffix for the country of origin e.g. USA, IRE. In all cases of incorrect or incomplete instructions, the bet will be taken as win, unless each way is stated. Where the same selection is nominated twice, then all bets will be settled as instructed, with one of the duplicated selection becoming a non-runner. Where a win or each way bet is requested and the nominated selections are in the same race, the bet will be settled as singles with the stake divided equally. In multiple bets, where two or more selections run in the same race, the stakes will be divided equally where the selections meet in the bet. i.e. 2 selections in doubles and upwards, in the same race will be settled as follows ñ unit stake single on each selections where they meet in doubles; winnings follow through to trebles and onwards are settled on the remaining selections as standard. Ante-Post
Ante-Post prices are those offered on: a. A horse race prior to the overnight/48 hour declaration stage. b. A greyhound race prior to the day of the race (unless special conditions are advertised). c. Sporting Events as advertised. Ante-post bets are accepted on the basis of 'all in run or not', i.e. stakes are lost if the selection does not take part, if there was a possibility of winning at the time the bet was laid. Win and place multiple accumulator bets are calculated in the same manner as SP bets. The place part of an each way bet, the fraction odds and number of places relating to each event, are those applicable on the date of acceptance. Place only bets, any to come and forecast bets are not accepted Ante-Post. Bets are executed at the price ruling at the time of acceptance. We reserve the right to correct any obvious errors. Postponed races: If a race is postponed to another day and final declarations stand then bets stand. However, single bets on horse racing will be made void and any selection involved in accumulative bets will be treated as a non-runner if: a. The race or event is abandoned. b. The race or event is officially declared void. c. The conditions of the race are altered after bets are placed. d. The venue is altered. e. The race is reopened or additional runners, other than known reserves, are added. f. The running surface is altered (e.g turf to dirt/all weather or vice versa). g. A horse is balloted out. In this instance, the liabilities against the horses remaining are reduced g. A horse is balloted out. In this instance, the liabilities against the horses remaining are reduced at the rate in accordance with Tattersalls Rule 4 depending on the odds currently available on the balloted out selection(s). Where the same selection is backed to win two or more events in Ante-post accumulator bets, a special price will apply, irrespective of the individual odds quoted. For credit accounts the investment on Ante-post bets are accepted up to the agreed credit limit, and are included for accounting purposes in your available credit limit. Rigging 1. Where there is evidence of price, race, match or event rigging, we reserve the right to withhold payment, pending the outcome of any subsequent investigation and ultimately to declare bets on that event void.
2. Where evidence of rigging exists or where there is evidence of a series of bets each containing the same selection(s), having been placed by or for the same individual or by a syndicate of individuals, we reserve the right to require claims for payment to be submitted in writing to our Customer Service Department. Related Contingencies Except where advertised, multiple bets are not accepted where the outcome of one part of the bet contributes to the outcome of the other. If taken in error, the stakes will be equally divided where they clash e.g. 20 double on Barcelona to win the match and Barcelona to win at HT & FT would be settled as 2 x 10 singles. However, where the related parts of the bet are resolved at different times, the bet will be settled as instructed, with the price for the subsequent legs being determined at each individual stage. E.g. Murray to win his semi final at 5/6 and Murray to win the tournament outright at 5/2 would be settled as Murray for the semi final at 5/6 and the price for Murray to win the final at the odds after the completion of the semi final. Special related prices may be available on live matches. These will be available upon request. Betting in Play We bet in play on a selection of live events. The odds confirmed to you at the time of bet acceptance will determine settlement. When placing a bet in play, when you have given your account number and the details of your bet you will be told that 'your bet is on'. Whatever happens in play after this point will not affect the fact that your bet has been accepted. For debit card account bets you may be told, 'Your bet is on, subject to bank card authorisation'. Again, whatever happens in play after this point will not affect the fact that your bet has been accepted on the condition that we get authorisation for the transaction. Any request for "In Play" price quotations are deemed as price requests and not a request for a bet, subsequent price changes may take place after the initial quotation of prices. Please note that a time delay is applied to in-play bets placed via the web site. Arbitration Any disputes, which cannot be mutually resolved, will be referred to an arbitrator. The current industry arbitrator is the Independent Betting Adjudication Service (IBAS), whose address for correspondence is: IBAS, PO Box 62639, London, EC3P 3AS or telephone number: 020 7347 5883.

INDIVIDUAL SPORT RULES General Sports Betting Rules Horse Racing Tennis Greyhound Racing Football American Football Baseball Cricket Golf 18 Hole Markets Tournament Markets Motor Racing Season Markets Individual Grand Prix Markets Qualifying Markets Darts Rugby Union Rugby League Gaelic Football Athletics Boxing UFC Cycling Speedway Numbers Betting Basketball Snooker Ice Hockey Volleyball Winter Sports GENERAL SPORTS BETTING RULES In the case of abandoned matches, or matches where the original scheduled amount of play is changed, (for example, a reduction in the number of overs in a cricket match) except where specifically stated otherwise, bets will be settled on the current result if further play could not affect that result. For example if a football match has been abandoned but the number of corners has already exceeded the maximum number specified, then further play could not affect that result. Any multiple bet reduced by a void, abandoned or postponed match will stand for the remaining selections, irrespective of the minimum number of selections required. Place terms on sports betting are those that were relevant at the time that the bet was
placed. If you place an each-way bet and you are uncertain as to the current place terms you should ask the telephonist to confirm them at the time. Place terms on horse and greyhound racing, with the exception of ante post are those that were relevant at the start of the race. In the event that the number of scheduled sets/legs to be played is changed (For example a match that was originally scheduled to be played over five sets being reduced to three), then match bets will stand but set betting will be made void. Unless specifically stated otherwise in our rules for each individual sport, bets on any 2 runner market that ends in a tie or draw, or exactly the number of points quoted, where no price was offered for that eventuality, will be made void and stakes returned. Dead heat rules will apply for bets placed on markets with 3 or more runners unless stated otherwise. With the exception of Antepost markets, unless specifically stated otherwise in our rules for individual sports, bets on abandoned or postponed matches or races, will be made void unless rescheduled for the next day. Bets on postponed events or tournaments, such as a bet on a golfer or tennis player to win a tournament will stand for one full week from the original scheduled start date, after which time they will be made void. Bets on Antepost markets will stand until the event is completed or officially cancelled. Set, Frame and Leg Markets: The full number of sets/frames/legs required to win the match must be achieved. If circumstances, for whatever reason, prevail so the match is awarded to a contestant before this is achieved, then set/frame and leg betting on that match will be made void. Handicaps. The handicap is added to the team after the final result. In the event of a change of opponent from the one advertised, then all bets are void. Unless stated otherwise, if a match changes to a neutral or alternate venue all bets on that match placed for the previous venue will be void. If we issue new prices for the game being played at the neutral ground, then it is the customers responsibility to be aware of this. We reserve the right to refuse the whole or part of any bet and to make ambiguous bets void. We reserve the right to suspend any or all betting on a market at any time without notice. In play match betting. If a match is not completed all bets will be void unless further play could not effect the result. Star Sports makes every effort to make sure that we do not make any errors in prices, handicaps, lines or terms when accepting bets. However, where a palpable error through system failure or human error occurs, resulting in an incorrect price, handicap, line or terms then bets will be settled at the correct price or terms at the time the bet was placed. If settlement has already occurred, then bets will be resettled and/or an adjustment will be made to the customer's account. If the erroneous handicap or line indicates an
unachievable or no-contest result, then bets will be void. For example, +2.5 set handicap in a women's tennis match. Bets placed on an event which has already started will be void unless we are offering In Play betting, in which case the bet will be settled at the correct price at the time the bet was placed. If we are not offering In Play betting, then bets will be void except where no significant action has occurred that would markedly alter the chances of the selection winning or losing. Star Sports reserves the right to void any bets placed either: - after the outcome of an event is known; - after the happening of an event which significantly alters the chance of a selection winning and losing; or - at an incorrect price due to delayed Live coverage of an event. -In the event of an error that results in a bet being corrected, Star Sports will make reasonable efforts to contact customers before the start of the event. -Star Sports reserves the right to recover any returns that are overpaid. This includes cash out payments. SNOOKER RULES: Re-Rack Rules: In the event of a re-rack, all bets will stand for the re-racked frame, unless the result is already known from the original frame. For example, first colour potted will be deemed the winner for betting purposes regardless of any subsequent re-rack. FOOTBALL DAILY SPECIALS: 1. For settlement purposes, if any match is abandoned or postponed that is included in an enhanced odds offer, all bets will revert to our last pre-match price at multiplied odds. 2. All player specials are void if the player takes no part in the game. 3. All bets are 90 minutes play only. HORSE RACING General Horse Racing Rules Subject to these rules, bets are accepted for race meetings held under the Jockey Club or their equivalent bodies abroad, where we make such races available to bet on. Should there be any doubt as to whether a bet refers to horse or greyhound racing, horse
racing will be given precedence. The advertised times of races, runners, riders and results as published in the Racing Post, will govern settlement, obvious errors and omissions being allowed. If a selection is correctly named, then bets will stand on that selection no matter if an incorrect meeting, time or price is appended. When a selection is identified by race time and number, that number will also take precedence over any price taken. If races are set back in time because of weather conditions, the settling of all bets for the meeting will be governed by the original advertised race times. Numbered Selections On an un-timed bet, where numbered selections are concerned, the bet will stand on the next race due off where that number occurs. Where an unnamed selection is timed, but no meeting given, and two or more races with a full service share the same advertised off time, the stake will be divided equally among them. In the case of multiple bets where the client has made it clear that only one meeting is intended, the bet will be settled for that meeting, even if other race times coincide e.g a yankee 1.30, 2.05, 2.40 and 3.30. All times applicable to Cheltenham, although there might be a 1.30 or 2.40 race at another meeting, the intention is clearly for all races at Cheltenham. Where a meeting and time are given, but no selection, the bet will be deemed void. Double Engagements Where a selection is doubly engaged and the client requests a specific race time, it will be considered a bet for that race only. If the selection runs in the other race it will be treated as a non-runner. Should the client not state a time or states an incorrect time, so long as an 'if absent' request is not stated, the bet will be settled on the first race the selection runs in, on that day. If two selections, one of which is doubly engaged, are included in an accumulator of multiple bets, but run in the same race, then the selection which is doubly engaged will be automatically timed for the race in which the entries do not clash. Conditional Bets We do not accept conditional bets.
Forecasts Bets Subject to the following rules forecasts are accepted in singles, doubles and trebles only. Accumulators are not accepted. Forecasts are available in races of three or more runners and will be settled in accordance with the requested forecast dividend, for example computer or exacta. Forecasts inadvertently accepted in races with only two runners, will be settled as a win single on the selection nominated to finish first. Should one runner finish alone, forecasts in which it is nominated as the winner are settled on the declared dividend unless none is given in which case forecasts will be settled as a single at SP (or relevant tote return) on the winning horse. All other forecast bets in the race are lost. Where a forecast is selected and no forecast dividend is returned, bets will be settled in accordance with the N.S.L. starting price forecast chart. If a forecast contains two selections that are in different races, then the bet will be settled as a win double. If the forecast contains a non runner, then the remaining selection will be settled as a win single at SP. If a client asks for a forecast single and gives only one selection, it will be settled as a win single. If a reversed forecast is requested and only one selection is given, it will be settled as an each-way single. Instructions for a selection 'with the field' or a selection 'against the field', means, in both cases, that the selection is required to win. Instructions for 'the field with' or 'the field against' means, in both cases, that the selection is required to come second. Forecast betting is not accepted on unnamed favourites. Where a permutation is used, which could apply either to a forecast or a tricast and neither is specified, the bet will be settled on a forecast. Tricasts and Trios A tricast is a bet where selections must finish 1st, 2nd & 3rd in the correct order in races where a computer dividend is declared. They are accepted as singles only. Tricast bets accepted for races where no tricast dividend is declared will be settled as a forecast, with the third selection ignored.
Where the name and number of a selection has been given and they do not correspond, the name will take precedence for settling purposes. Should a tricast contain a non-runner, the total stake will be invested on a straight forecast on the remaining selections in the order written. In the case of a full cover combination, the total stake will be divided equally as a reversed forecast on the remaining selections. Should there be two non-runners, the tricast will be settled as a win single on the remaining selection. For the purposes of settling, a permutation is considered as a series of straight tricasts. Walkovers These count as races but any horse that completes a walkover will be treated as a non runner. Fixed Odds Distance Betting A fixed odds bet is available on selected horse race meetings based on predicting the correct total of the winning distances for all races at that meeting. The maximum distance for a single race is 12 lengths for flat racing and 30 lengths for national hunt. In the event of a walkover 2 lengths will be awarded to a flat race and 6 lengths will be awarded to a national hunt race. In the event that one race is made void or abandoned then 2 lengths will be awarded for a flat race and 6 lengths for a national hunt race. If two or more races are abandoned then all bets will be void unless further races could not affect the result. The distance will be the official declared distance at the weigh in. Any subsequent alterations will not count for settlement purposes. The following list represents the numeric unit that is used in the calculation for distances of less than one length :- Nose: 0.05 Lengths Short Head: 0.10 Lengths Head: 0.20 Lengths Neck: 0.30 Lengths Half Lengths: 0.50 Lengths 1 Length: 1.00 Length etc. Fixed Odds Favourite Betting A fixed odds bet is available at selected meetings based on a points system for the finishing positions of favourites in each race. The aim is to correctly predict the total number of points for the finishing positions of favourites in each race at the specified meeting. If the favourite is withdrawn then 10 points are awarded for that race. If there are joint or co favourites then the selection will be the one with the lowest race card number. In the event of a walkover or all horses failing to complete a race, 10 points will be awarded for that race. In the event of a dead heat then the points for each placing will be added and divided
by the number of selections in the dead heat. In the event that one race is made void or abandoned then 10 points will be awarded for that race. If two or more races are abandoned then all bets will be void unless further races could not affect the result. The following is a list of the number of points awarded for the relevant placing of favourites. 1st place: 25 Points 2nd Place: 10 Points 3rd Place: 5 Points Horse Race Match Bets Horse match bets may take the form of a head to head match or a selected group such as a threesome. The winner is the selection that obtains the best finishing position. If all horses fail to complete the course the selection that has completed most of the course will be deemed the winner. If selections fall or refuse at the same fence in national hunt races dead heat rules apply. Dead heat rules apply with regard to finishing positions Each-way betting Bets are settled to win unless each-way is selected. An each-way bet is a bet of twice the selected unit stake. It contains one bet of unit stake on the selection to win and one bet of unit stake on the selection to be placed in accordance with the terms advertised for the event. In general, for UK, US and South African horse racing the place part of each-way bets will be settled as per the following place terms: Races with less than 5 runners = Win Only (the place money is invested to win). Races of 5, 6 or 7 runners = 1/4 odds for first 2 places. Handicaps 12 to 15 runners = 1/4 the odds for first 3 places. Handicaps 16 or more runners = 1/4 the odds for first 4 places. All other non-handicap races of 8 or more runners = 1/5 the odds for first 3 places. In all races the number of runners shall be the number of runners coming under starters orders. Bets will not be accepted where the place stake exceeds the win stake. Place only bets are not accepted (with the exception of certain specialty bets). Where place only bets or bets where the place part is in excess of the win have been accepted in error the difference will be void. Each-way doubles, trebles and accumulators will be settled win-to-win and placeto-place in accordance with the above. Settlement of Bets In the event of no starting price being returned then the last industry price given will be used for settlement purposes. In the event that no industry price was used then the tote return will be used for settling purposes and vice-versa. If neither price is declared bets will be void.
Favourites and Numbered Selections The favourite is the horse quoted at the shortest odds in the official starting price, the second favourite is the horse quoted at the next shortest price. If two horses are quoted at the shortest SP, then they will be joint first and second favourites. Bets on 1st or 2nd favourites are accepted win only at starting price. Early prices or board prices cannot be taken on unnamed favourites. Each way bets on unnamed 1st or 2nd favourites are not accepted and if taken in error, the place part will be settled as a win stake. If an unnamed favourite is selected and two or more co favourites are returned, the stake will be divided equally among them and paid at full odds. If a favourite is withdrawn, not under starters orders and no new market is formed, that favourite will be treated as a non runner unless in placepots where your selection will revert to the next shortest priced selection, and the lowest race card number in the event of two or more equally priced selections. In single bets, any untimed favourite will be deemed to be for the next race due off, which is receiving full coverage, from the time the bet was placed. If a meeting is stated, but no time given, the bet will stand on the next race at that meeting. Withdrawals When a horse is withdrawn before coming under starterís orders, or is deemed by the starter to have taken no part in the race, stakes will be refunded on that selection. Reserves In races with reserves, any bets taken prior to a reserve horse being declared to run and if the reserve was not priced up at the time the bet was placed, then any such bets will be settled on the result 'without the reserve runner(s)'. Each way bets settled on the result 'without the reserve runner(s)' will be based on the number of runners, excluding reserves, that start the race. No rule 4 deductions will be applicable in races where reserves are priced but do not run. Early Price/Board/Show/SP prices When a horse has been withdrawn then the remaining bets will be subject to Tattersalls Rule 4, incurring deductions according to the price of the non runner at the time of withdrawal. However should a new market be formed before the 'off' of a race, then only bets with a price taken prior to the time of withdrawal will be affected. Tote Prices (UK & Irish)
Horse race tote bets are accepted for all meetings in the UK covered by a full race service. We accept Tote win, each way, exacta's and placepots. We do not currently accept the Tote Jackpot. TOTE bets are not currently accepted on line. Place only Tote bets are not accepted and if taken in error, will be void. Tote Placepots are accepted at all UK horse race meetings where a tote pool operates. To win the placepot, clients must select a horse to be placed in each of the first six races at the nominated meeting. Selections achieve placings based on place terms and any race nominated by the Tote, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places. When a race meeting is not specified or cannot be identified, the bet will be taken for the principle meeting published in the Racing Post, unless the numbers stated do not 'fit' the card for that meeting, in which case, it will be for the one or more meetings where the numbers do fit the card with the stakes apportioned, if necessary. Clients can nominate an unnamed favourite in a placepot by stating 'fav'. Where joint favourites are returned, the one with the lowest race card number will be the selection. Should the favourite be withdrawn before coming under orders, the next shortest price runner will be the selection, unless there is more than one, in which case the one with the lowest race card number will become the selection. In the event that no placepot dividend is declared, the bet will be settled as an SP place accumulator. In the event of a non-runner or an ambiguous selection, it will be replaced by the favourite, or in the case of joint favourites the one with the lowest race card number. Tote bets are not accepted on an unnamed favourites (except placepots). There is a payout limit of 20,000 to any one client in any one day, on Tote investments. The maximum tote return will be no greater than twice and no less than half of the equivalent SP return. The maximum exacta forecast dividend will be no greater than twice and no less than half of the computer straight forecast. Restarted Races In the event of a false start etc. resulting in a race being re-run, 'Under starters Orders' is negated and stakes will be refunded on horses not taking part in the re-run, with returns on the remaining runners subject to Tattersalls Rule 4. The number of runners taking part in the re-run governs the place terms. Information and rules for racing in Other Countries Bets are accepted for all races abroad where we advertise acceptance.
In races where an industry SP is made available, all bets will be settled at these prices, unless requested otherwise. In instances where no industry SP is made available, bets will be settled at Pari-Mutuel/Tote returns. Win and Each-way for foreign pools: Horses in the same ownership are generally coupled on the win pool only. In certain countries, e.g. USA and Belgium, horses are coupled for all pools. The place part of each way bets will be settled in accordance to the returned place dividends. Bets will be settled in accordance to the rules in place at each track. In the USA, two place pools are in operation, namely the "place 1-2 pool" for 1st and second only and the "show 1-2-3 pool" for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. It is your responsibility to specify which dividend you require when placing your each way bet. If no dividend is specified by you, then we will default your bet to the show 1-2-3 dividend. If no show dividend is declared by the race track, then your each way bet will be defaulted to the place 1-2 dividend. Any selections finishing third in this circumstance will be made losers. Coupled horses are treated as one runner for win, place and show dividends. Place only bets are not accepted and, if taken in error will be void. Forecasts: Straight and reverse forecasts, exacts and quinella's are accepted, depending on the type of forecast in operation. Should the instructions be for straight or reversed forecast/exacta and a quinella forecast is returned, then the total stake will be invested as a quinella forecast and vice versa. In countries where bookmakers operate and an official SP is returned, bets are accepted in accordance with our general rules and we will advertise any additional rules, applicable to the country concerned. Unnamed favourites are not accepted in races abroad, unless an official SP is returned. Any bets taken in error, will be void.

Where races have less than 5 runners, the place money goes all on to win. All bets on unnamed greyhound favourites or trap numbers must state the correct time and
meeting, however, where the meeting is omitted, but the collective race times can only apply to one particular meeting, then the bets will stand for that meeting. If the time applies to more than one main meeting stakes will be equally proportioned for settlement purposes. Greyhound bets on unnamed second favourites are not accepted and if taken in error will be made void. Trap Challenges: Available at selected meetings as advertised. Bets stand irrespective of any non-runners. In the event of one race being declared void or abandoned all bets will stand.

In all other cases the selection will be void, e.g. 7.40 Crayford would be void. We do not accept tote bets on greyhound racing. Any such bets accepted in error will be settled at the starting price equivalent. FOOTBALL Settlement of Bets Unless otherwise stated, all markets on football matches will be for 90 minutes scheduled play, including any added injury or stoppage time, but not extra time, golden goal or penalty shoot-outs. In the event of a match being abandoned after it starts but before the final whistle, only bets that can be settled at the time of abandonment will stand. All other bets
will be deemed void. Note: Some matches play 70 or 80 minutes (e.g U-16, U-17 etc) but will still appear as 90 minutes on our website. These matches will be settled according to the full-time result as long as a minimum of 70 minutes is played and the match is not scheduled for anything other than two halves. Where outright prices are offered for a match, it will signify the price for a team to progress to the next round of the competition or to lift the trophy and will include any extra time and penalty shoot outs. Where both match prices and outright prices are offered on a match, it will be assumed that bets will be for match prices, unless to win outright or a qualifying price are specifically asked for. Goal Scorer Markets Goalscorer Disputes: In the event of a dispute over who scored a goal, settlement will be based on the result given by the Press Association immediately following the end of the match. Subsequent enquiries will not be considered for settlement purposes. If the P.A. do not produce statistics for a match played outside the UK, the result will be taken from the consensus of the national newspapers of the relevant country as printed the following day. First/Last Goalscorer: A price will be offered for "No Goalscorer" in the match. Own goals do not count and in the event of the first goal being an own goal, the next goalscorer will be deemed the first goalscorer. Players taking no part in the match will be void. For first goalscorer, players who have taken no part in the match before the first goal is scored will be void. Every effort is made to quote all players for a team, however, if the first/last goal is scored by a player not quoted in the original list, that player will still count as the winner. For last goalscorer bets, any player taking part in the match will be deemed a runner whether on the pitch at the time of the last goal or not. Anytime Goalscorer: This bet involves predicting whether a particular player or specified team will score a goal at anytime during a match. Bets will stand until the final whistle and not include any Extra Time played. If for any reason a match is abandoned before the final whistle, stakes will be refunded irrespective of whether the nominated player has scored or not. Own goals do not count. Multiple bets involving anytime scorers in the same match are accepted. For anytime scorer bets, any player taking part in the match will be deemed a runner. Scorecast: Predict who will score the first goal and what the score will be in a double. Given that the two components of this double are related, the scorecast is offered at specified, discounted odds. In the event of the nominated scorer not having entered the field of play prior to the first goal being scored, the stake is automatically placed as a single on the correct score. Own goals do not count and in the event of the first/last goal being an own goal then the scorecast will be settled on the correct score coupled with the next goalscorer. Shirt Numbers: Predict whether the total shirt numbers of goalscorers in the match are under, between or over a stipulated middle band. Own goals count. In the event of a
